2 Mga Cronica 13

1 Nang ikalabing walong taon ng haring Jeroboam ay nagpasimula si Abias na maghari sa Juda.

In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abijah reigned over Judah.

2 Tatlong taong naghari siya sa Jerusalem: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Michaia na anak ni Uriel na taga Gabaa. At nagkaroon ng digmaan si Abias at si Jeroboam.

He reigned for three years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Micaiah, the daughter of Uriel, from Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

3 At si Abias ay nagpisan sa pakikipagbaka ng isang hukbo na matatapang na lalaking mangdidigma, na apat na raang libo, na mga piling lalake: at humanay si Jeroboam sa pakikipagbaka laban sa kaniya na may walong daang libo, na piling mga lalake, na mga makapangyarihang lalaking may tapang.

And when Abijah had undertaken the conflict, and he had with him four hundred thousand elect men, very fit for war, Jeroboam set up a battle line opposite him of eight hundred thousand men, who were also elect and very strong in warfare.

4 At si Abias ay tumayo sa bundok ng Semaraim, na nasa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim, at nagsabi, Dinggin ninyo ako, Oh Jeroboam at buong Israel;

Then Abijah stood upon mount Zemaraim, which was in Ephraim, and he said: “Listen to me, Jeroboam and all of Israel.

5 Hindi ba ninyo nalalaman na ibinigay ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, ang kaharian sa Israel kay David magpakailan man, sa kaniya at sa kaniyang mga anak, sa pamamagitan ng tipan na asin?

Are you ignorant that the Lord, the God of Israel, gave David the kingship over Israel for all time, to him and to his sons, by a covenant of salt?

6 Gayon ma'y si Jeroboam na anak ni Nabat, na lingkod ni Salomon na anak ni David, ay tumindig, at nanghimagsik laban sa kaniyang panginoon.

But Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon, son of David, rose up and rebelled against his lord.

7 At napisan sa kaniya ay mga walang kabuluhang lalake, na mga hamak na tao, na nangagpakatibay laban kay Roboam na anak ni Salomon, nang si Roboam ay bata at malumanay na puso, at hindi makapanaig sa kanila.

And there were gathered to him very vain men, and sons of Belial. And they prevailed against Rehoboam, the son of Solomon. For Rehoboam was inexperienced, and he had a fearful heart, and so he was unable to resist them.

8 At ngayo'y inyong inaakalang daigin ang kaharian ng Panginoon sa kamay ng mga anak ni David; at kayo'y isang malaking karamihan, at mayroon kayong mga gintong guya, na ginawang mga dios sa inyo ni Jeroboam.

Now therefore, you say that you are able to resist the kingdom of the Lord, which he possesses through the sons of David, and you have a great multitude of people, and gold calves, which Jeroboam made for you as gods.

9 Hindi ba ninyo pinalayas ang mga saserdote ng Panginoon, na mga anak ni Aaron, at ang mga Levita, at kayo'y naghalal ng mga saserdote na ayon sa kaugalian ng mga bayan ng mga ibang lupain? na anopa't sinomang naparoroon upang tumalaga sa pamamagitan ng isang guyang baka, at pitong lalaking tupa, yao'y maaaring saserdote sa mga yaon na hindi mga dios.

And you have cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, as well as the Levites. And like all the peoples of the lands, you have made priests for yourselves. Anyone who is willing to come and perform the ritual by his hand, with a bull from the herd and with seven rams, is made a priest of those who are not gods.

10 Nguni't tungkol sa amin, ang Panginoon ay ang aming Dios, at hindi namin pinabayaan siya; at mayroon kaming mga saserdote na nagsisipangasiwa sa Panginoon, ang mga anak ni Aaron, at ang mga Levita sa kanilang gawain:

But the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken him. And the priests who minister to the Lord are from the sons of Aaron. And the Levites are in their proper order.

11 At sila'y nagsisipagsunog sa Panginoon tuwing umaga at tuwing hapon ng mga handog na susunugin at ng mainam na kamangyan: ang tinapay na handog naman ay inihanay nila sa dulang na dalisay; at ang kandelerong ginto na may mga ilawan, upang magsipagningas tuwing hapon: sapagka't aming iningatan ang bilin ng Panginoon naming Dios; nguni't pinabayaan ninyo siya.

Also, they offer holocausts to the Lord, each and every day, morning and evening, and incense composed according to the precept of the law, and the bread of the presence on a very pure table. And there is with us the gold lampstand with its lamps, so that they may burn continually in the evening. For certainly, we keep the precepts of the Lord our God, whom you have forsaken.

12 At, narito, ang Dios ay nangungulo sa amin, at ang kaniyang mga saserdote ay mga may pakakak na panghudyat, upang mangagpatunog ng hudyat laban sa iyo. Oh mga anak ni Israel, huwag kayong mangakipaglaban sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng inyong mga magulang; sapagka't kayo'y hindi magsisiginhawa.

Therefore, God is the commander of our army, with his priests, who sound the trumpets that ring out against you. O sons of Israel, do not choose to fight against the Lord, the God of your fathers. For it is not expedient for you.”

13 Nguni't pinaligid sa likuran nila ni Jeroboam ang isang kawal na bakay: na anopa't sila'y nangasa harap ng Juda, at ang bakay ay nasa likuran nila.

While he was speaking these things, Jeroboam set in motion an ambush behind them. And while they stood facing the enemy, without Judah realizing it, his army circled around.

14 At nang ang Juda ay lumingon, narito, ang pagbabaka'y nasa harap at likuran nila: at sila'y nagsidaing sa Panginoon, at ang mga saserdote ay nangagpatunog ng mga pakakak.

And looking back, Judah saw the war threatening in front and behind, and they cried out to the Lord. And the priests began to sound the trumpets.

15 Nang magkagayo'y nagsihiyaw ang mga lalake ng Juda: at habang nagsisihiyaw ang mga anak ng Juda, nangyari, na sinaktan ng Dios si Jeroboam at ang buong Israel sa harap ni Abias at ng Juda.

And all the men of Judah shouted out. And behold, when they cried out, God terrified Jeroboam, and all of Israel who were standing in opposition to Abijah and Judah.

16 At ang mga anak ni Israel ay nagsitakas sa harap ng Juda: at ibinigay ng Dios sila sa kanilang kamay.

And the sons of Israel fled from Judah, and the Lord delivered them into their hand.

17 At pinatay sila ni Abias at ng kaniyang bayan ng malaking pagpatay: sa gayo'y nangabuwal na patay sa Israel ay limang daang libo na piling mga lalake.

Therefore, Abijah and his people struck them with a great slaughter. And five hundred thousand strong men of Israel fell wounded.

18 Ganito nangasakop ang mga anak ni Israel nang panahong yaon, at ang mga anak ni Juda ay nagsipanaig, sapagka't sila'y nagsitiwala sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng kanilang mga magulang.

And the sons of Israel were humiliated at that time. And the sons of Judah were very greatly strengthened, because they had trusted in the Lord, the God of their fathers.

19 At hinabol ni Abias si Jeroboam, at inagawan siya ng mga bayan, ang Beth-el pati ng mga nayon niyaon, at ang Jesana pati ng mga nayon niyaon at ang Ephron pati ng mga nayon niyaon.

Then Abijah pursued the fleeing Jeroboam. And he seized cities from him: Bethel and her daughters, and Jeshanah with her daughters, and also Ephron and her daughters.

20 Na hindi man nagsauling lakas si Jeroboam uli sa mga kaarawan ni Abias: at sinaktan siya ng Panginoon at siya'y namatay.

And Jeroboam no longer had the strength to resist, in the days of Abijah. And the Lord struck him, and he died.

21 Nguni't si Abias ay naging makapangyarihan, at nagasawa ng labing apat, at nagkaanak ng dalawang pu't dalawang lalake, at labing anim na babae.

And so Abijah, having been strengthened in his authority, took fourteen wives. And he procreated twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.

22 At ang iba sa mga gawa ni Abias, at ang kaniyang mga lakad, at ang kaniyang mga sabi ay nangakasulat sa kasaysayan ni Iddo na propeta.

Now the rest of the words of Abijah, and his ways and works, have been written very diligently in the book of Iddo, the prophet.
